Rollup merge of #74787 - petrochenkov:rustllvm, r=cuviper
Move `rustllvm` into `compiler/rustc_llvm`
The `rustllvm` directory is not self-contained, it contains C++ code built by a build script of the `rustc_llvm` crate which is then linked into that crate.
So it makes sense to make `rustllvm` a part of `rustc_llvm` and move it into its directory.
I replaced `rustllvm` with more obvious `llvm-wrapper` as the subdirectory name, but something like `llvm-adapter` would work as well, other suggestions are welcome.
To make things more confusing, the Rust side of FFI functions defined in `rustllvm` can be found in `rustc_codegen_llvm` rather than in `rustc_llvm`. Perhaps they need to be moved as well, but this PR doesn't do that.
The presence of multiple LLVM-related directories in `src` (`llvm-project`, `rustllvm`, `librustc_llvm`, `librustc_codegen_llvm` and their predecessors) historically confused me and made me wonder about their purpose.
With this PR we will have LLVM itself (`llvm-project`), a FFI crate (`rustc_llvm`, kind of `llvm-sys`) and a codegen backend crate using LLVM through the FFI crate (`rustc_codegen_llvm`).
